21) Bieszczady National Park (rozwiń)

is the most extended in south-east Poland group of mountains in Karpaty Range. It borders with Ukraine and Slovakia. Bieszczady is a virgin area, one of the most breath-taking polish landscapes. Stainless, wild environment, wealth and beauty of nature, not many inhibitants. Bieszczady are characterized by long, parallel mountains ranges, that extend from north-west side to south-east side. Their height grows from the West to the East. The highest peak of west Bieszczady is Tarnica ( 1346 m n.p.m.), the most prominent – Wielka Rawka. The characteristic element of Bieszczady landscape is lack of the highest part of mountain and lack of mountain pine floor. In the lowest valleys are set beech forests, beech-fir forests and alder forests, between heights 600 and 1150 m in forest complex prevails beech with small addition of fir and olsztyn, while higher borders of forest create dwarf beeches. Higher extend “połoniny” – mountain meadows. Between plants we can meet even 30 species that are characteristic for Alps, the Balkans and eastern Carpatians.
After deportation mountains-inhibitants Łemki and Boykos in 1947, this area became savaged. After that surface turned into natural phenomenon – land of valleys, where around old villages semi-natural landscape has been created. There is a sign of human presence here in the past – feral orchards, trees, which show, where houses and roads were situated, some plant communities left after human farming. That is why only in Bieszczady we can meet some species of animals and plants. It is the only place in Poland where we can find Aesculapian snake. It is also the biggest concentration of golden eagles. What is more, tourists shouldn’t be taken aback, when they will notice bisons, deers, bears, lynx, wolfs or wildcats. Beech forests seem to be the best shelter for these animals. They can there loosely live and reproduce. Bieszczady are mainly covered with forests, it is nearly 70 % of all surface. Additionally here live more than 200 species of birds, for example eagle-owl, ural owl, black stork, vulture. These areas are also full of amphibians (salamander, alpine newt), reptiles (Aesculapian snake, adder, sand lizard) and insects (stag beetle, Carabus Auronitens). Of course for tourist the best attraction are big mammals. Surely, the easiest to observe is red deer, which is ornament of Bieszczady. While wandering through Bieszczady in autumn it’s impossible not to hear their roars. A lot of luck is needed to meet brown bear – the biggest polish predator. Now in Bieszczady live about 30 bears – probably this is half of polish bears population. No worries – these animals don’t attack people, dangerous may be only bear mother with children, if someone would startle her.
GPart of Bieszczady is protected by Bieszczady National Park, the biggest national park inpolish mountains. Here we have also Ciśniańsko-Wetliński national Park and Landscape Park of San’s Valley. These areas are connected and named UNESCO Biosphere Reserve East Carpathians. There are many biosphere reserves. Big attractions are flood in Solina and narrow-gauge railway Majdan. Everybody can try themselves on many hiking, horse-back riding, cycling and skying trails. In Bieszczady there are plenty of skying lifts, especially in the near of Ustrzyki Dolne.
Where I am? In Bieszczady?! Here, where apparently wolfs were said to come under house’s windows? Here, where apparently this place was said to be out of police and God reach, but full of people avoiding law and herpes alimonys? This soil is still coughing with smoke of incendies and evaporating with blood of bieszczady’s brothers war, who only differed between each other, that the ones only once, and the others three times crossed themselves while praying? In the land, where apparently even its name is taken after BIESy – bad guys and CZADs – milder guys, but also devils, because you need only sneak a peek on the map, and the thing is – where devil “good night” said… No more “apparently” ?!
